A few things to remember while hiking:
- Stay on trails: taking shortcuts causes trail erosion--and is both dangerous and illegal.
- Carry (and drink) plenty of water: a leading cause of injuries on the trail is dehydration. Be sure to treat river, stream, lake, or spring water.
- Pets and bicycles are only permitted on bike paths.
- Horses and mules have the right of way on trails.
- Pack out what you pack in.
- Trails are not maintained nor are they regularly patrolled: travel carefully and at your own risk.
- Smoking while traveling on trails is prohibited, though you may smoke while stopped. (Crush out and dispose of cigarette butts in a trash receptacle.)

Did You Know?
The indigenous people of Yosemite Valley have used fire as a tool for thousands of years. Fire was used to encourage the growth of plants used for basket making and to promote the growth of the black oak--a sun loving species--and a staple food source for American Indians from this region.
